LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – If you’ve driven down Cedar Street in Old Town Lansing, you’ve probably noticed the eye-catching art installation that sits along the fence of what used to be just a pile of scrap metal. It’s the result of a $75,000 grant from the City of Lansing’s 2025 Arts Impact Project.
“We’ve certainly transformed from the old junkyard that people looked at as ‘We’re noisy, we’re dirty,” to now, ‘We’re recyclers.’ We help preserve resources and we’re into art and doing parts in our community, especially Old Town Lansing,” said John Lancour.
